Density, specific heat, and volumetric heat capacity (in metric and in English units) of various construction materials
Image
Right – The insulation has been located to the exterior of the thermal mass in this wall section
Image
The cool shingles on the right have been coated with a ceramic coating to reflect near-infrared radiation, resulting in a cooler roof as shown by these thermal images (red and yellow are hotter, green and blue are cooler).
Image
The white TPO membrane roof on the row house on the right performs extremely well at reflecting solar energy and maintaining cool surface temperatures while the black EPDM membrane roof on the left heats up rapidly in the sunlight
Image
Thermal mass causes a time lag in the transfer of heat as well as a dampening of peak temperatures, as shown by this plot
